Depends on how you wanna use it.

Given how many problems the car appeared to have even before
this accident, I would not suggest even paying a $1 for it as a daily
driver. If you plan on primarily tracking it, you will likely not care about a CEL
and will probably be replacing many suspension parts etc.

In which case... I still wouldn't suggest buying it for much over $12,500.
(not that they would ever sell it for that, unless your Eastwood face is spot on)

Didn't read the whole thread about the accident, but a look under the front
clam would probably be interesting.
